Patent Title  Antiviral peptides and methods of use thereof

Comment 

Abstract  Antiviral peptides and formulations thereof for treating or preventing one or more symptoms of coronavirus infection are described. Peptides derived from human beta defensin 4 have been demonstrated to have antiviral properties against different coronavirus variants, including cross-linking viral particles, blocking intercellular fusion, and/or inhibiting viral release. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of using one or more antiviral peptides are also provided. Preferably, the antiviral peptides are administered via an intranasal route to prevent or alleviate one or more symptoms of coronavirus infection, such as reducing syncytial formation and lung injury.
